At least 10 migrants - including a mother and her baby girl - have drowned after their boat capsized while trying to cross the Drina River, which separates Serbia and Bosnia, Serbia's Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said.

Authorities said at least 18 other migrants, including three children, arrived safely on the Bosnian side of the border on Thursday. It is unclear how many people may be missing.

Bad weather halted search efforts, with officials in both countries now planning to resume the operation on Friday morning. Parts of the river are up to 200m (656ft) wide.

Local media also reported a search was under way for a smuggler who took the migrants across the river.
